Gas explosion in Yate - Help the Cainey family!

Support the Cainey Family After Devastating Gas Explosion

Hi everyone,

Many of you will have seen and heard the heart breaking news, but for those who haven’t;

At 6:50 a.m. on Tuesday, April 29, a devestating gas explosion occurred on Lancaster Road, Yate. This completely destroyed one property and severely damaged several others, to the point they are going to have to be knocked down and rebuilt.

Our amazing friend Rich Cainey and his parents are one of the families sadly affected by this incident and have unfortunately now lost their family home and all of their possessions within, while Rich has also lost his car due to the blast.

Amid the chaos, both Rob and Rich showed extraordinary courage, entering the burning neighbouring house to help the residents escape to safety—an act of selflessness and bravery that likely saved lives.

This fundraiser is to support the Cainey family in any way we can—whether it’s helping them secure temporary housing, replace essential belongings, or begin the long journey of rebuilding their lives.

Every donation, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference. Thank you so much for your support and kindness during this incredibly difficult time.
